internals.RdA list of functions and R6 class objects that can be used to develop extensions to greta. Most users will not need to access these methods, and it is not recommended to use them directly in model code.
This help file lists the available internals, but they are not fully documented and are subject to change and deprecation without warning (though care will be taken not to break dependent packages on CRAN). For an overview of how greta works internally, see the technical details vignette. See https://github.com/greta-dev for examples of R packages extending and building on greta.
Please get in contact via GitHub if you want to develop an extension to greta and need more details of how to use these internal functions.
You can use attach() to put a sublist in the search path. E.g.
attach(.internals$nodes$constructors) will enable you to call
op(), vble() and distrib() directly.
